CONTACT TYPE
Models with cadmium-free contacts have
been introduced in order to reduce
environmentally harmful substances. (“F”
is affixed to the end of the part number.)
We ask customers who are currently
using products with cadmium-containing
contacts (no “F” at the end of the part
number) to please make the switch to
models with cadmium-free contacts.
When switching, operating life may differ
depending on the load. Please be sure to
verify this by conducting an evaluation
using actual equipment.
